Abstract: There is provided an electronic control device that performs distributed processing using a plurality of microcomputers and can perform highly accurate time synchronization between the microcomputers with less delay without hindering arithmetic processing of each microcomputer. The device includes a plurality of microcomputers, and a waveform generation circuit connected between a master microcomputer serving as a time synchronization source and a slave microcomputer that performs time synchronization, among the plurality of microcomputers, wherein the master microcomputer outputs a reset signal synchronized with time to the waveform generation circuit, the waveform generation circuit outputs a waveform signal corresponding to a change in time of the master microcomputer, to the slave microcomputer, and the slave microcomputer measures a voltage value of the waveform signal and detects time corresponding to the measured voltage value.
